where in Virginia is that ? :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

if you're looking for long-er range around here, the only real games are Peacemaker, and Quantico.

340 Defense is a nice mid-range (400yd max).

There is a very nice public range Whitehorse - in Wva, but its far enough away that its a get a hotel room kinda far drive =(. Buddy and I have a plan when the weather gets nice to take a few days off of work and head out there.

I'm getting into the longer range game and the lack of long-range places makes me sad.

Texas and Southern California. I haven't even taken the 338 out of the safe since I've been here. :(

know the feeling... I've got a 338, and was working up loads, but bugholes at 100 yds can be done for a lot less than $1.50/projectile, and 80gr of powder.

Nice work! Are you left handed or just ambi?

Must be fun to hear the steel ring after the boom.

now all you have to do is see to it that there's no wind or mirage when you fire, and get the enemies/critters to hold still while you fire the spotter shots.
